Foreword
Permanent Salary Survey 2012/13
Welcome to PSD’s annual Procurement and Supply Chain 2012 salary survey, a useful guide to pay and reward across all sectors of the industry. It is the result of a comprehensive attitudinal salary survey completed online by 729 permanent and interim procurement professionals responding to an email invite and PSD’s own database of 15,000 procurement professionals. We believe it is the most useful and comprehensive of all procurement salary surveys around because it breaks results down across job title and geographical location to allow procurement leaders, HR and candidates to analyse trends and benchmark their own companies reward policy. The survey focuses purely on executive and management roles within the procurement field, creating a focus on those individuals that drive the development of procurement and supply chain within major organisations. This reflects the level of individuals PSD focuses on. Our results have been gathered during another stormy year which has seen a double-dip recession in the UK, the continuing crisis in the Eurozone and slowing growth in the emerging markets of China, India and South America. With another batch of dismal data released by Markit/CIPS for the UK Manufacturing sector for the final quarter of 2012 and a gloomy assessment of the outlook for 2013, this is one painful economic hangover we still haven’t been able to shake off in the last 12 months. So what impact has this had on the recruitment market? During 2009 to 2011 candidates were moving for better job security, career prospects and more interesting roles.
Although these factors are still important, financial incentives are becoming increasingly important. It has been interesting to note that it has become more difficult to find good people willing to move this year. This is largely due to a reluctance of people to change jobs in an uncertain market and candidates being more selective about what opportunities they will consider. More importantly they need to have a financial incentive to move.

This year’s CIPS presidential theme was to make procurement the ‘profession of choice’ to attract both graduates and career-changers with a real passion for procurement in to the profession. This passion for procurement is strongly reflected in the people we continue to work with as both candidates and clients who are continuing to deliver against challenging targets whilst raising the profile of procurement with their stakeholders. We expect organisations to demand more from their procurement functions next year as we witness a better understanding at board level of the real value of the profession. This will highlight where improvements need to be made which will in turn present opportunities for the most capable and ambitious professionals who can step up to the challenge and deliver.

Recruitment Services Our reputation has been built upon our ability to deliver highly effective recruitment solutions to our client companies. Each recruitment consultant is fully trained in file search, advertised selection, executive search and contracting, ensuring that we are in the strongest position to recommend solutions that are appropriate to the individual needs of our clients. The skills and experience of our consultants and the resources and capability of the PSD group enable us to handle a wide variety of recruitment requirements, from single key appointments to large-scale recruitment projects, in both international corporations and small private businesses. Our People Standing out in the recruitment market is never easy; most consultancies tend to offer similar services. However, at PSD we have a key point of difference – the quality of our people. It is the skills and knowledge of our consultants and support staff that provide clients and candidates with exceptional service. All staff successfully work within a values based culture.
Commitment to Quality PSD is committed to the training and development of our people and to the continuing improvement in the quality of our services. We continue to adhere to ISO 9001:2008. Last year we underwent our three year assessment for Investors in People and in addition to applying for ‘standard’ renewal we decided to apply for ‘Silver Status’ and we were awarded this impressive accolade. There are more than 22,000 organisations in the UK with the IIP accreditation (40,000 plus internationally) but only 1.5% have Silver Status. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) standards are becoming increasingly more prominent in clients’ selection for suppliers and it is an excellent tool to use in our client relations and communications. The CSR standard incorporates companies policies, management and reporting on environmental, social issues and stakeholder relations criteria. This includes areas such as equal opportunities, health & safety, training and development and employee relations.

Salary Survey – Methodology PSD’s Salary Survey is the result of a comprehensive attitudinal salary survey completed online by 729 UK procurement professionals responding to an email invite (this is an increase of 28% from last year’s survey responses). We have also analysed our own database of 15,000 active and inactive procurement professionals.

The figures indicated refer to basic salary, which we find the best indication to allow for serious comparison. Packages are usually calculated by adding 30 – 50% on top of basic salaries, but it is not uncommon for the more senior candidate to be have a package of up to 100% of basic salary. This document will focus on the main findings compiled from all respondents with a further break down of average salary levels for our key specialist sectors
which provides a useful guide allowing for comparison between different sectors. Please note that this acts as a guide only and there will be anomalies as there are with any indicators.

Analysis:
Permanent Salary Survey 2012/13
Overall the profession has not seen a great deal of movement with average salaries remaining consistent with last year’s results and no significant increases seen in any of the role categories. Salaries increased marginally this year with the biggest proportion (49%) receiving an increase between 1-4%. The second biggest increase was at the 5-10% level with 17.6% of respondents receiving a salary increase between these percentage points. At the top end of the scale 10.4% of all respondents received an increase in excess of 10%, which is slightly down on last year when 12.8% of candidates received a 10%+ increase. Interestingly 68% of respondents expect their salary to increase in the next year but judging by these results they are more likely to achieve this by making an external move. The greatest difference has been in the range of salaries reported by respondents for each category of role with a wider spread of salaries in the management , head of and CPO categories. This is likely to be attributed to the significant increase in respondents from the 2011 survey with a wider range of professionals participating from a range of companies from SME’s to FTSE 100 companies. Bonuses have seen the biggest increase at the 5-10% level with 39% of respondents receiving a bonus in this range this year in comparison with 19% of respondents last year at the same level. At the top end of the bonus scale
Permanent Salary Survey_2012/13 7
the amount has dropped off slightly with 10% of respondents receiving a bonus in excess of 25% in comparison with last year where over 12% respondents took home a bonus over 25%. 72.5% of respondents feel very positive or positive about their employment prospects should they decide to make a move and 70% of them are either proactively or passively looking for their next role. Which leaves only 30% of respondents happy in their current situation. The role of the Recruitment Agency has clearly not diminished with just under half of respondents (48%) securing their last position through a recruitment consultancy, followed by 17% being recruited directly by their employer and 16% through their own networks. Social media is playing an increasing part in supporting careers for both ongoing development and future opportunities. An overwhelming 91% use Linked In to help them with Twitter, Facebook and Google+ having equal status with 6.5%8.5% of respondents using these sites.

Summary 2012 could be considered another ‘flat’ year as there has been no significant increase in day rates or in the number of contracts available. The competition has increased both in terms of available opportunities but also in terms of attracting the best talent. For those with significant relevant skills, the current climate still provides healthy opportunity and gives Procurement and Supply Chain further opportunity to raise its profile within the changing dynamics of the global economy.

Interim Report 2012/13
Welcome to the second PSD Procurement and Supply Chain Interim Report. As 48% of PSD’s registered candidates are now, or will consider becoming professional Procurement contractors, this still remains a highly valuable document for the industry. Contractors are a key element in a large number of procurement teams and are an increasingly valued resource to major organisations. The results within this Interim Report 2012/13 were gathered from a comprehensive online survey and database analysis which involved 2000 procurement professional contractors. When questioned, the majority of the respondents (33.9%) classified their role as Procurement/Category/Supply Chain Manager and 22.8% were titled Head of Procurement/ Category/ Supply Chain. This reflects that there are still very few Buyers or Senior Buyers who operate on an interim basis. The report reveals that the majority (40.6%) of Procurement Consultant day rates for 2012 remain between £400-£600 per day. The level at which most Procurement Consultants become Interim Professionals has remained the same as 2011 with 55.6% stating their rate had not increased in the last 12 months. This highlights the stagnant, flat environments that have prevailed in 2012, coupled with small pockets of activity and fewer broad ranging projects across all sectors. Interest in opportunities remain high and PSD’s Interim database grew by 21% in 2012. Furthermore, we found that 57.5% of respondents were in a contract of between 0-7 months duration with a further 30.7% working in a contract in excess of 12 months. Indicators are showing that even though short term contracts are still common place, extensions have been prevalent in 2012. We have seen a significant contraction of budgeted roles over the past year, which combined with the increase in contractor numbers through both private and public sector cuts, has highlighted the extreme
competition for places. Gone are the days when hiring managers recruited the first contractor they interviewed that could ‘do the job’. There has been an 9% increase in the length of time out of contract compared with 2011’s results and significantly 37.9% of contractors had a gap of between 8-16 weeks The greatest proportion of those questioned considered themselves professional contractors (88.9%) and would not usually consider permanent work. The reasons for making this choice were varied but the three main themes were flexibility (29.4%), lifestyle balance (25%) and financial rewards (22.2%).

Professional social media sites have become an essential part of an Interims network “toolkit”. A huge 93.7% of responses said that they use some form of Social Media site to support their career. We expect this figure to edge closer to that 100% next year. Having an on-line “Personality” will be an essential part of everyone’s profile. Hiring managers, recruiters and new acquaintances are increasingly using sites to form opinions and gather references on individuals and therefore can easily make an initial opinion before inviting a candidate for interview. In turn, as professional recruiters we have advised many Interim’s that having the correct CV for the modern market is equally as important. There are many do’s and don’ts in relation to your Social Media Personality including having a professional photograph and not a holiday snap. Also contributing to relevant forums, groups and adding recommendations on linked in is also critical. From PSD’s point of view a pleasing fact from the survey was that 72.5% of respondents stated that recruitment agencies remained their primary method of sourcing their assignments and they did not envisage this changing in the coming 12 months.
